FamiliesFORWARD students go for run at 2012 Flying Piglet
Thirty-four students involved in FamiliesFORWARD’s After-School Program experienced a morning of exercise, nutrition, entertainment and wellness May 5 when they participated in the 2012 Flying Piglet Kids’ Fun Run & Festival.
At the Flying Piglet, children race varying distances, depending on their ages—ranging from the 1-and-under Diaper Dash (a 15-foot crawl) to the 8- and 9-year-olds’ 250-yard run. Parents are permitted to walk or run with children 5 and younger.
All of the races, part of events leading to Cincinnati’s signature Flying Pig Marathon the next day, are fun runs. All children receive the same prizes, which include a Flying Piglet T-shirt and a finisher’s medal.
Kids older than 9 are encouraged to participate in the Kids’ Marathon One Mile or the 5K Fun Run.
FamiliesFORWARD staff members accompany the children on Flying Piglet day.
